Ranking
5 secluded beaches to visit without spending much
- 01
Praia do Espelho, BA
Access via dirt road keeps some of the mass tourism away and keeps regional prices friendlier outside of December and January.
- 02
Praia do Rosa, SC
Much quieter outside the summer high season, with simple lodging options nearby.
- 03
Praia de Caraíva, BA
No cars on the streets and a canoe crossing to get there — the extra effort keeps visitor numbers lower.
- 04
Praia do Sono, RJ
Only reachable on foot or by boat, which cuts demand a lot compared to neighboring beaches on the Costa Verde.
- 05
Praia de Genipabu, RN
In the early morning hours, before the buggy tours start, you can enjoy the beach almost by yourself.
